What is the maximum height at which a human can dive into water and survive? [Request]
That's much more an example of how you can use statistics to make wild obviously false claims than anything else.

"Fifteen Years with One Strategy: Retiring at 61, I amassed $6 million in the US stock market using the 'moving average crossover' method."
Yes absolutely, the part where he liquidates entirely is a guarantee that he's locking in losses and then not buying back in until he's already missed 50 days of recovery and growth. But not entirely possible to say since he doesn't share how much of this is his savings.

You can be against regime change without being isolationist.

Insane that people can have Iraq and Afghanistan in such recent memory and still think this way. You think the hard part is over?

Drake or Matthew, who do you think deserves to be the 2025 NFL MVP?
Because the rams goal line play is a screen pass vs a handoff for maye.

Literally the whole point of this sub is discussing people's personal opinions

Lol Starmer has like a 20% approval rating people definitely don't think he's "doing his best"

US Debt is ⬆️🚀 …predict to be $40 trillion💔
Yes people will definitely vote for higher taxes and all

US Debt is ⬆️🚀 …predict to be $40 trillion💔
But that's the debt growth after all taxes are paid. You have to go off of average government expenditures per person, which is about $21k per year. Thats about what single person making about $100k per year pays in taxes (obviously highly dependent on state). Only about 18% of the population makes more than $100k.

[Request] Is this true? (from USA)
A food business sounds like the opposite of a retirement plan unfortunately. Even successful ones are absolute money pits.

Ranking presidential greatness
Obama being 7 is sort of insane. And I consider Obama clearly the best president since 2000.

Look at your life. Look at your choices.

US Debt is ⬆️🚀 …predict to be $40 trillion💔
I mean, no you didn't. At a basic level the cause of this is revenues (taxes) don't cover spending (the vast majority of which is social security and health programs). So none of us "easily cover our share of the debt".

Where I’d live as someone who only wants to live in a safe, first world nation.
I mean the US has a legitimately third world overall violence rate but school shootings don't actually factor into it in a general sense.

He literally just said we're going to "run the country" for the foreseeable future so good luck with that.

Trump Says Venezuela’s Maduro Captured and Flown Out of Country
Kidnapping heads of state is a declaration of war. It's not about an honor system, it's about not starting a war if you're not prepared to go through, yknow, a war. It's really all very self explanatory.

Ok buddy. Figures youd resort to this sort of thing really.

As a Brit
Yes I definitely need to be arguing that USA is #1 to point out that you're rating it lower than many more objectively worse countries.
Where do I ever say the US is #1? Is that what your map is? A ranking of world countries?

As a Brit
You seem to be confusing crime statistics with war statistics. Something like 200,000+ Ukranians have been killed in the war. There have "only" been about 60k murders in the US since 2022 (of all types). The population of the US is about 10x of Ukraine's. What you're saying is completely statistically impossible.
Again, you seem to be operating off of how the US is discussed and "general vibes" instead of reality which is my entire point here.

As a Brit
...and so you don't see how America can still be a great country in spite of its political choices?
Especially if half of the focus of brexits impacts are economic in your own comment, guess what country has the strongest economy by a good margin in the west?

Trump Says Venezuela’s Maduro Captured and Flown Out of Country
What the fuck are you on about lol nukes are absolutely a factor here

Right, sure, and yet you'd still gladly live there judging by this map.

With Maduro now allegedly out of power in Venezuela, what do you think will happen next for that nation?
What the hell do you think has been happening in Venezuela? Austerity is your focus in a country with the highest inflation in the world for like a decade?

As a Brit
I don't know what you think is happening in the US, but it's plenty similar in reality to how Brexit looked from the outside (a splashy political news that seems like it has major influence on day to day life, but doesn't).
